Hi Prof. Singh, Agree with Dinesh. This is Trewia nudiflora, now Mallotus nudiflora. Regards, Neil Soares.

Some earlier relevant feedback: “... to me looks like Mallotus nudiflorus (syn. Trewia nudiflora) ... ” from Dinesh ji. “The leaves appears to belong to Trewia nudiflora L., but the flowers and fruits not matching. Please see my earlier postings of T.nudiflora L. here https://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/895fd8c0dfed0def/b67b0740c20e37fb?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=Trewia+nudiflora#b67b0740c20e37fb But here also Prashantji's tree is posted https://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/15958fe83e0eeee2/e3e6409c7fe7fc62?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=Trewia+nudiflora# The Tamil name of this tree refers to its riparian habit. Prashantji, did you taken the picture near a water body? Am I confusing? please solve these queries.” from Muthu ji. “I think the leaves also do not belong to T. nudiflora. There is a distinct front venation of the leaves in T. nudiflora and not as cordate as seen in the pictures. regards, Rashida.” "Agree with Rashida. This does not look like Trewia nudiflora. Sending a link to my photographs of T.nudiflora for comparison. https://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/15958fe83e0eeee2/e3e6409c7fe7fc62?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=Trewia+nudiflora-+Neil+Soares#e3e6409c7fe7fc62"; from Neil ji. "Prashant ji, I appreciate your keen observation. I am seeing pictures of this (female) tree for the first time but can say that this is female plant of T. nudiflora. Globose woody fruits with 3 yellow styles can be seen on long stout peduncles. The leaves also tally though Rashida ji and Neil ji seem to differ. The other tree posted in another post is a male tree of the same sp. clearly showing flowers with stamens in pedulous racemes. The female tree is fruiting so the male tree had to be around, good you got both together. Why not search for another Trewia polycarpa which has female flowers in racemes and the fruits are 8 mm, ovoid instead of 3 cm, globose as in T. nudiflora. I have been searching for this tree for last several years. Keep it up. Regards, Shrikant" "Just to put things in perspective. The leaves of Prashant's tree dont look anything like this. Sending photographs of 2 of my Trewia nudiflora trees at my farm at Shahapur.
